The word "horizontally" derives from "horizontal," which originates from the Greek "horizōn (kyklos)" meaning "limiting (circle)." The root "horizon" refers to the apparent boundary between earth and sky, metaphorically representing a flat, level line. The suffix "-ly" converts the adjective "horizontal" into an adverb, describing actions performed in alignment with this plane. The evolution reflects a shift from a celestial boundary to a geometric orientation.
